The 2002 Seattle Mariners season was a highly successful campaign as the team followed up their record-breaking previous year with an impressive 93-69 record, finishing third in a very competitive American League West. Under manager Lou Piniella, the Mariners remained a powerhouse in the league, showcasing a balanced roster that featured the continued excellence of Ichiro Suzuki and veteran leadership from stars like Edgar Martinez and Bret Boone. While they narrowly missed the postseason, the team provided fans with numerous highlights at Safeco Field, including a memorable 10-0 victory over the Cardinals and maintaining one of the highest winning percentages in franchise history.
